Nashville Strip Clubs: Arrow shoots for further success in its second year

Arrow shoots for further success in its second year Tennessee’s only male strip club

Arrow, located at the corner of 5th Ave. and Peabody, is Tennessee’s only male strip club. Such status presents a number of risks in this conservative market, but a recent addition to their staff bodes well for an even more successful second year. New manager Beau Langley has over twenty years experience in the industry, and one of his first goals is to implement new marketing strategies and outreach to the GLBT community and the community at large.

As a unique entity in Tennessee, Arrow, which was named best strip club in Nashville in last fall’s Nashville Scene readers’ poll, is testing uncharted waters in terms of advertising and marketing plans. Langley says they’ve sought advice from several of the female clubs in town, including their nearest neighbors, Crazy Horse.

Nashville Strip Clubs: A Geography Question For All You Teabaggers With "Good Taste"

1 09 2010

… Now, you could argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion, or is it a nationality way of  life, or cult or whatever you want to call it.”  -GOP Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey, Tennessee, on the campaign trail in Chattanooga, July 2010.
 ”They are not a religion. They are a political, militaristic group.”  – Bob Shelton, 76, Nashville, TN
            The plans by a Muslim-American group to exercise their constitutional right to build a cultural center a few blocks away from “Ground Zero” in New York City, the site of the former World Trade Center, has been the subject of a great deal of handwringing and teeth gnashing from self-described American “patriots.”  They claim it’s not about religious bigotry, because it is “insensitive” and in “bad taste” to build a “mosque” on that “hallowed ground,” among all the gin joints and strip clubs within a few blocks of Ground Zero.

Nashville Strip Clubs: FIRST-PERSON: Does God care about politics?

30 08 2010

3. The government was created with the first King of Israel, Saul (1 Samuel 10-12).
In Tennessee for example, the state capitol has lobbyists and governmental relations representatives from every philosophical position under the sun, except from the churches. There are lobbyists at the state capitol that represent porn shops and strip clubs, lobbyists who represent the ACLU, the homosexual agenda, liberal feminism, comprehensive sex-ed and the distribution of condoms in schools, abortion on demand (and paid for by taxpayers), atheism and pushing God and religion out of the public schools. But with all the thousands of churches in Tennessee, there is not one paid lobbyist that officially represents a church or Protestant denomination on the Hill. I would expect that this is true in many other states, as well. But, why is that?

Nashville Strip Clubs: Tennessee Titans Contributing Rookies

30 08 2010

NFL Mocks is going to do a team by team look at what rookies have the potential to contribute during their first season.  Every year there are countless rookies that have major and minor impacts.  Everyone expects the 1st round picks to make an impact but we hope to point out some other players that may help your favorite team win games.
It’s been kind of a tumultuous offseason for the Tennessee Titans. Vince Young swinging punches at a strip club, Chris Johnson’s contract situation, Derrick Morgan getting in trouble with the cops…What kind of affect will that have on this team? Well, if there’s any coach that could handle it, it’s Jeff Fisher.
Derrick Morgan: Ran into some trouble with the law over the summer and will have to get past that distraction while he battles to transition to the NFL game. He started out training camp with a calf injury and only came back to practice on August 26. He was brought in to replace the departed free agent Kyle Vanden Bosch.

Nashville Strip Clubs: Nashville at law: Judge nixes cops’ reverse-discrimination claims

30 08 2010

… Chief Serpas and his deputy chiefs determined that these plaintiffs were not ready for promotion to a higher rank, while other candidates were,” she wrote. “Employers are generally free to choose among qualified candidates for promotion, and the law does not require them to make perfect decisions or forbid them from making decisions with which others may disagree.”
Steiner would not comment on the ruling when reached last week, but she did indicate an appeal will be filed soon.
Davidson County Circuit Court
Angela Gayle Meador v. Nashville Shores Holdings LLC, Aug. 25. Meador, a lifeguard supervisor, claims the work environment became hostile after new owners and managers took over the lakeside waterpark last year. Among the other ways women were allegedly “degraded, humiliated and harassed on a constant basis” by senior personnel:
• Two managers “discussed openly that they wanted to install a stripper’s pole” in one of their offices “so the women could entertain them.”

Nashville Strip Clubs: With Jeff Fisher by his side, Vince Young set for next step

25 08 2010

Fisher helped Young realize he didn’t have to do it all himself the way he did in leading Texas to a Bowl Championship Series national title win against Southern California in January 2006.
How far the Titans go depends on Young easing pressure on running back Chris Johnson (2,006 yards last year) as a more accurate passer. Young has thrown seven more career interceptions (39) than touchdowns.
“It’s our time right now,” Young says. “We love being underdogs.
“That’s why we’re coming to win and take your legs from underneath you.”
“We want to be playing in the Super Bowl,” says fullback Ahmard Hall, who played with Young at Texas. “And VY’s the guy to take us there.”
Owning up to mistakes
Young worked harder this offseason, only to raise anew questions about his newfound maturity with an altercation at a Dallas strip club.

Nashville Strip Clubs: Young Mom Says State Worker Raped Her

18 08 2010

Young Mom Says State Worker Raped Her
    NASHVILLE (CN) – A young mother claims she miscarried her second child after she was raped by a state employee as she sought health insurance in his hospital office. She claims the Tennessee Department of Human Services worker, Darius Willis, moonlights as a male stripper under the name “Chocolate Thunder,” and that “other male DHS employees have secondary careers as male strippers and strip together.” Willis has been criminally charged with rape, the young mom says in her federal complaint.
     The plaintiff, J.N., sued Willis and the Tennessee DHS, which she says was negligent in its hiring and supervision of Willis, and in putting him in a position of power over women in crisis.
     J.N. says she receives state benefits for her daughter, including health insurance through the state-run TennCare.

Nashville Strip Clubs: Going into 5th NFL season, challenge for Young is proving he’s franchise QB

17 08 2010

Young played well paired with Johnson, throwing for 1,879 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions for an 82.8 passer rating. He also ran 55 times for 281 yards with two TDs and led six game-winning drives with the Titans either tied or trailing in the fourth quarter.
His best? Easily the 99-yard drive to beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17 with a TD pass to Kenny Britt as time expired. Fisher called it the drive of the year.
Young said his teammates will ease the pressure on Johnson and himself.
But the biggest off-season move that may have made the biggest impression came in late July when he met NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in New York to discuss his misdemeanour charge for a scuffle at a Dallas strip club in June. Young had immediately apologized for the incident, promising to learn from his mistake.

Nashville Strip Clubs: Tennessee Titans 2010 Season Preview

16 08 2010

… Yeah, I did not anticipate [the 0-6 start],” said Fisher. “I thought camp [last year] was good. We overcame some things. We had some holes. The return issues were my responsibility. I didn’t address that adequately enough, but we will do that this year. But I didn’t anticipate that.”
Fisher believes he addressed the return issues with the drafting of Williams, while the first-round selection of defensive end Derrick Morgan and third- round grab of linebacker Rennie Curran will add an infusion of talented youth to the defense. Fellow new faces on the defensive side of the ball are defensive end Jason Babin, linebacker Will Witherspoon and cornerback Tye Hill.
The Titans also come into 2010 with several off-the-field issues hopefully behind them. One of the biggest was Young’s role in a fight at a Dallas strip club on June 13, but the quarterback was not disciplined by the NFL.

Nashville Strip Clubs: Index

11 08 2010

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It’s time for Jeff Fisher to open his 16th straight training camp with the Tennessee Titans, and that first practice Saturday will be a welcome return to football after a busy off-season.
Fisher expects Chris Johnson to show up, happy the Titans reshuffled some money to pay him more for 2010. Vince Young will be available for all 16 games, and Fisher hopes maybe more, with the NFL not punishing him for a Dallas strip club tussle in June.
DETROIT – Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand will be suspended for 30 days and fined US$100,000 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy following his guilty plea to driving while impaired, the league announced Friday.
The suspension begins Aug. 25 and Lewand will be permitted back at work Sept. 24. Lewand, who met in New York at the league office July 16 with commissioner Roger Goodell, also will do community service.
